    Still not understanding on what happened. It drives me krazy not knowing!! I wish I could go Back to the day when we were looking for you. I was only about 5feet from you and I still couldn't find you. I hate my self for that. I could have looked harder. But i didn't. I still feel like this is all a bad dream. I try so hard to keep a smile on my face but inside my heart is in a million pieces:'( I miss you so much! I wish I was there for you more. I wish I was able to spend more time with you. With you gone our family isn't complete. Were broken! Mom, Dad, Celine, Marlo and me, we're all broken! I pray every night that you visit me in my dreams. I'll continue to pray until I see you. I love you so much Ago! So much! Live your new life in Heaven, be happy and rejoyce. You will always be deep I'm my heart! I LOVE YOU!!~lil sis????

    I don't even know where to start cuz I have so many memories of you.. One of the most special ones is the day I told you that I was pregnant. You were so happy and even more happier when u found out we were having a boy. We met when I was 16 years old and got married when we were 19. We shared alot of years together and I will hold all those memories close to my heart. I love you Santiago may you rest in peace!! Love always Charmaine xoxo

    Ago, what's up Homie. My brother Julz & I both where talking about how we first met you when we were like 14-15 yrs. old. Big Zay brang you to our house and back then FMT & NWK didn't get along. We hit it off and looked out for each other ever since. I saw you a little before you left us and Southland and you told me that you were proud of us for not using anymore and that you would let me know when you were ready. I'll continue to strive and obtain social status and a higher education, like we are supposed to do. Love you Carnal Jav-Jimenez De Newark

    I was unfortunate to have known Ago on a personal, however, feel like this is the most profound way to remember him by, in my case. Ago, I learned of your passing the day of my birthday, and eventhough I didn't know you well, I felt your beautiful spirit speak through your family. Those are my thoughts towards you and will always be. Heavens army gained one of the best.
